"Limmud was absolutely, positively, enthusiastically, amazingly wonderful!!!! Congratulations and thank you to everyone who established this tradition in one fell swoop. From here on calendars in in the the city will need to read "Atlanta, B.L" and "Atlanta A.L." I loved it."

"It's not even 24-hours since Limmud has ended and I'm ready to find out about the next one, wherever it's being held! The ruach at the Limmud-SE/Atlanta was awesome, from start to finish. I couldn't get enough, and wish I could have cloned myself so I could have attended every session. I felt like I was back in college, without the term papers. The courses were engaging, the ruach among the "students" was energizing. What a rush!"

"First of all, a huge congratulations for a most successful first Limmud! Much appreciation to the countless hours that all of you invested in making this important event a reality."

"Bringing a large group of Jewish people from diverse religious backgrounds together for a day of learning, exploring, and being opened to new ways of thinking, is a crucial first step in creating peace and understanding in ourselves, our city, our state, our country, our world."

"Thank you for your efforts!"

"Though I could never capture the feeling of an entire Jewish University condensed into one beautiful day, I will always remember the discussion in one session when I, a conservative Jew, discussed Torah with an Orthodox Jew, in a class led by a Reform Rabbi, with lively and engaging discussion from men, women, young and old, intown and even people from outside the perimeter! At Limmud, differences evaporate; only the common bond of a love for Jewish learning and community remain."

"Thanks for organizing such a great event."

"It was truly and amazing experience...thank all the Volunteers....I've never seen that much organization where everything (to the outsider, anyway) ran so smoothly."

"'Like one people, with, one heart', was se limmud. we, participants, should 'bow', to y'all, saying, 'We're not worthy' Sat. night, ROCKED!, I think that whole format, and setup, in one place, great entertainment, etc, should stay the same! Please, make sure to, ALWAYS have, MULTIPLE PRESENTERS, from EACH Jewish movement!, as well as, keeping, MULTIPLE 'categories', to choose from, arts, theater, music, text. Toda. Make G-d bless, and ALWAYS have, 'BALANCED, Dressy Casual, AFFORDABLE, TASTEFUL 'CLEAN', jewish community gatherings."

"I saw you at the conference. I had a wonderful time, enjoyed the service and the show. I'm so pleased that it was a resounding success, and that the conference was attended by so many people in its inception."

"Thanks to you and your team! It was a wonderful experience. I would love to help in the planning next year!

"I really had not heard of Limmud until this past weekend but after attending several sessions and enjoying the entertainment, realized it was very special. I met and networked with many wonderful people and appreciate the opportunities you provided. Great work."

"Aaron Alexander presented a TEEN TRACK class this year regarding "Do Jews Believe In Heaven and Hell?" Although I am not a teen, I went to the class and it was FANTASTIC!!! I would love for him to do this class for ADULTS next year!!"

"… It seems like the whole thing was quite the success. good for you!!! People like you keep our people thriving and active in a positive way as a community!"

"It was a great "first" experience coming to a Limmud program after all these many years at CAJE. I truly looked forward to being a presenter at this special gathering. What I didn't anticipate was the thrill I'd get from the encounter with some of the other presenters who also attended and shared in their respective expertise. It was a genuinely positive experience and while it is wonderful to say I was at the first, I hope that I will, in years to come, have the opportunity to say I attended not simply the first, but the many which followed. Thank you all who made this a wild and wonderful FIRST for us all. And a special note of Yeasher coachchachem to all those who worked so diligently behind the scenes to make it happen. You are truly our architects of the future."

"Limmud Atlanta was an awesome experience! Volunteer if you can. I did, and it was most rewarding to feel so involved. Also wonderful was that there were so many varied study, learning, and entertainment opportunities and so many interesting people with whom to interact. The opening evening's performance put everyone in the relaxed frame of mind for Sunday's learning sessions. Having attended CAJE conventions in the past, I can say Limmud had some of the best elements, and I enjoyed Limmud even more, as it was not only for educators. It was great being on Oglethorpe's Campus, too. Thanks for a great experience. Let's do it again!"

"Limmud was wonderful! There was something for everyone and everyone felt welcome. Yasher Koach to JAC and the Limmud organizers, you brought us together in a way that enabled us to experience, to learn, to question, to socialize and most of all to feel a sense of belonging to a wonderful Jewish community."

"Thanks for helping to make it all happen. This was a very important event for the Atlanta Jewish community, with the potential to change this community in powerful ways. I hope to be part of the debriefing of this one and the planning for the next one."

"Thank you again to those of you who devoted your talent and time to making Limmud such an enormous success. Our caliber of programming and the volume of attendance rivals the Limmud experience in places that have been at it longer (New York) or just have way more Jews than we do (L.A.)"
